About the Project
We hope this fun filled educative celebration of our dinosaur tracks and trackmakers can help provide another pathway for the Broome community to repair and rebuild from the continuing COVID-19 impacts. Running from July 2021 to June 2022 there’ll be a range of healthy outdoor activities for dinosaur enthusiasts of all ages.
DCMG volunteers in partnership with community-based arts, educational, environment and history groups are working hard to produce a range of inspiring events, activities and presentations.
We take great pride in the Broome dinosaur tracks story and have a sense of wonderment about the country on which we live. This festival is a great way to share this with others.
The Dinosaur Coast Management Group have a packed agenda of festival events – supported by Lotterywest.
